HC Deb 03 December 1975 vol 901 cc617-8W
35. Mr. Mike Thomas

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment whether he is satisfied that local authorities are providing adequate financial aid to low income families and the chronically sick and disabled for home insulation.

Mr. Freeson

Local authorities may, with my Department's consent, make grants towards roof insulation for elderly or disabled persons who could not meet the cost without hardship. I believe that these arrangements are satisfactory.
